Minneapolis Journal: EVERYBODY in
Dakota knows Wilbur + Steele. He was
member of the legislature from Steele
county. There is an incident in Steee's
legislative career that goes very far to
show his characteristic regard for his
wife. He has one fault. however. He
takes no stock in woman suiirage--eX-
cept when he is obliged to. On the oc.
casion in question the woman suffrage
bill was before the house. Major Pickley
was championing the cause of the fair
sex in eloquent words when call was
made for vote, and the clerk proceeded
to call the roll. When Steele's name was
reached he arose with the dignity of q
Demosthenes and commenced:
MIR. Speaker. l am sorry that cannot
support this bill. but
At that moment well-dressed lady
was seen to bend over the gallery rail.
In a loud voice she exclaimed:
'W-i-l-b-u-rW
He glanced upward. 1t was enough.
He turned and said:
"Mr. Speaker, vote aye"
The lady was Steele's wife.

For birds that do not live there nough
And shoot a sea-gull or clough
Which he with joy would proudly slough.
